Research Topic Individual’s academic achievement is very important for each and every one life because it can represent their intelligent, morality and personality (Sophie, Benedikt, Premuezic, Tomas, 2011) and also will give them with opportunity to start their life or getting a job. Due to the fact that there are a number of factors with affect students’ academic achievement, most of which are teachers and students’ ability, financial support and emotional support from surrounding environment, individual’s commitment, and so on, more importantly is part-time job which are still in controversy because to some extent it provides benefit and for some reason it provides nothing but downgrading the success. There have been many questions from group of students as well as their parents and researchers on whether student should work in their academic life or just focus only on study, besides this some students also do two or more degrees at the same time, so are these problems affect students academic achievement or not (Green, 1987)? Some people believe that students who are either employed as part time staff or study two universities at the same time can provide them with benefits while the other sides believe that it might offer no advantages or less benefit. Students will gain benefit, to some extent, if their work and their major in university are correlated with each other which means that that job substitutes or complements their skills and experience that are useful after they graduate and for those who pursue two degree at the same time. For example, students who study Law and International Relation facilitate themselves faster than the others who do not attain the course because International Relation also focuses on Law as well (Dallam & Hoyt, 1981). Although it does so, still it affects the performance in class because of busy timetable. On the other hand, the employment also affects their academic performance as well. Due to the fact that studying and making money, people generally prioritize money, so student might put a great deal of effort on work and sometimes take the school for granted for example, they do not have time to finish their homework and do not participate in class.so often on the grounds that they need time to relax and revive their power after they work (Miller, 1997; King, 1998).

Statement of Problem The Policy on Research Development in the Education Sector of Cambodia focuses on enhancing the quality of education, increasing new knowledge and developing the society, economy and culture as Cambodia Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport states (MOEYS, 2012). Moreover, MOEYS says “education for sustainable national development demands that the country pays more attention to improving education strategies and developing the research capacity of higher education institutions throughout Cambodia” (MOEYS, 2012).The project of examining the effect of part-time job of university students on the academic achievement that is going to be conducted can be part to develop education in Cambodia. Associated with the relationship between work on the academic achievement might result from the continually rising the tuitions and fees, and the desire to gain social experiences (Zhang & Johnston, 2008). Moreover, the trend of increasing number of student working longer than before in order to support their education is becoming significant spot (Bradley, 2006). Some previous research had been conducted in the ideas of viewing the negative impacts of part time job on the students’ academic achievement. Wenz and Yu (2010) state that employment provides the negative impact on the academic achievement in term of students’ grade point average which have falling by 0.07 point per hour (Wenz & Yu, 2010). Moreover, the result has shown that students who work for with financial purpose earn lover grade than those with career specific skill but for general work...

...News - Parenting | |Teens and the Part-timeJob: The Pros and Cons of Letting Your High School Student Work
By Sara Richmond Walls
It seems like a great idea: your high school student spending a few hours a night at the local grocery store making a few extra bucks. In many ways, it is a win-win situation. They can use the money to help you pay for their college, or to pay for their own gas. Your student, in return, receives the knowledge of responsibility and what it means to earn a dollar. Still, there are pros and cons to letting your high school student spending their time in a part-timejob.
The Pros
As mentioned above, there are several pros to letting your student tackle a part-timejob. The first and the most obvious is the slight amount of stress taken off of your wallet. Perhaps you don’t have to pay for their gas anymore, or their i-Tunes downloads. Even if they aren’t making enough to pay their way through college, they are helping take some of the financial burden off of you, specifically for perks like dinner and a movie out with friends.
In addition to the added income, there is no doubt that most individuals do not truly appreciate a hard-earned dollar until they’ve earned it themselves. With your student working a part-timejob, you can teach him or her the...

...sisters have to fast many meals with meat, fish, but the fact that 300,000 is now no longer enough for her to enjoy student life in one month.
Once she was back home, she saw a scene my mother and two younger sisters were sweeping, cleaning toilets for a company to make more money for me to go to school. I decided to go to work.
She finds a parttimejob, any job that she can earn money...
She accepts to go to work, though she is not interested in it. I'm afraid this work will take time for learning and homework. To her, learning is the most important, it is the shortest and fastest way to help her move toward a brighter future. She goes to work with the goal of making money to pay the school fees and daily activities. If inadvertently this job which made her distracted to learning, it's not meaningful anymore.
Therefore she thinks carefully before I decide to work. And I should also arrange between learning and working..."
Especially in times of " price escalate" today, the income by working part-time will help you cover part of the cost of daily life.
Furthermore, when in college, free time will much more. Doing parttimejob, means we took advantage of a period of "dead" is not small.

...priority should be to get a better education and I shouldn’t have to worry about money because that was their job as parents. Well this has stuck with me throughout my educational career so far. I personally have not had a job until this day. My parents would tell me that being a student was my job and that I should be good at it just like I would do if it was a paid job. Well I feel as if I would have had a job I wouldn’t of have continued my education like fellow classmates that I know.
Obtaining a job at such an early life has its advantages such as being introduced into the work filed preparing an individual for the future. High School students are being exposed to how to behave professionally and manage their money and time wisely. Thomas Lu, who wrote the article, Should students work part-time during the school year? Claims that by students working at an early age they will be at an advantage from those who don’t. Stating that these particular students will be allowed to start learning about the working world. He mentions how the academic status and financial situation should be taken into consideration because otherwise it will just harm them instead of helping them. I think that is a very important fact.
Nick Somoski, also states her counter opinion to the subject Should students work part-time during the...

...student to have a part-timejob rather than
pay attention to studying. It goes without saying that
university student prefer to choose a part-timejob in
many countries, they want to have a valuable and
colorful life in the university, a part-timejob can give
student some different experiences. It will give student
some social experience to make them more active. I will
discuss the positive and negative influences of having a
art-timejob, then I will give my opinion.
There have several positive influences on university
student. Firstly, a part-timejob is a good choice for us.
In general, we will have face-to-face communication
with local people who speaks english, it will improve our
speaking. At the same time, you learn how to maintain
good relation with other people. When doing a part-timejob, we always can acquire some necessary knowledge
and skills, which the teacher does not teach you.
Sometimes students need those valuable experience to
explore unknown fields to develop future career.
Secondly. Writefix（2011） says" taking a part-timejob

...﻿A job with flexible hours is almost required for college students. Unfortunately, most businesses do not want to offer flexible hours to any one, especially college students. Luckily there are several fields of work with several companies in each that will offer flexible hours to college students. The jobs that offer these flexible schedules do not usually have the best pay or benefits, but they are willing to allow students to work around their schedule as much as possible.
The first field of work that offers flexible hours for college students is fast food restaurants. Fast food restaurants are one of the best places to work with flexible hours. A lot of fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Arby’s, and Wendy’s are willing to let college students’ work something called split shifts. Split shifts allow college students to work in between their classes. For example, college students make up over half of McDonald’s workforce. Most college students work around their schedules in odd shifts or as little as three hours at a time with split shifts. If the college campus is really close to a fast food restaurant then split shift might be the perfect schedule. With a split shift the student can go to class and work their job without working through the night. Also a lot of jobs like this offer free or reduced meals, helping out those college students on a tight budget.
A similar field to fast food...

...With the various costs associated with higher education slowly (or not so slowly in some cases) rising, working part-time while studying is a necessity for many students – be it to cover living and academic expenses or to just for the sake of getting hold of a bit of spending money.
But money is not the only thing you can gain from part-time work. It’s a great way to get a hands-on feel for the real working world and what it’s like to work with (and for) other people, as opposed to the often solitary pursuits involved in studying.
More advice on funding your studies >
You might even be able to get some experience in the field into which you wish to go, demonstrating your passion and getting an invaluable head start. And they can be particularly useful for international students trying to get a feel for the language and culture of their host country (though you must stay alive to working hour restrictions that may be placed on them).
However, it goes without saying that there can be a less positive side to working part-time, which is that it quite simply takes up time. As you’ll soon find out, at university, time can become a pretty valuable asset at the best of times, and a seemingly unattainable precious resource during harder ones.
Be realistic
The temptation of a few extra dollars in your pocket can make it easy to bite off more than you...

THE PROBLEM
Background of the Study
Acquisition of knowledge is not only confined in the four corners of the classroom. In some instances, individual may learn through his environment. Through On the Job Training or practicum, the students are given a chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the school. It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting.
Practicum helps the students to experience the new environment and challenge them that will result in growth and creativity in their subsequent experiences. It also link theory with practice by providing regular structured and supervised opportunities for student to apply and test knowledge, skills and attitudes, developed largely in campus based studies, to the real world of the school and the school community.
For many students, the practicum is a very positive and meaningful experience, but for some the practicum can fall short of expectations. The quality of every practicum experience can be enhanced if students are provided with guidance in identifying and making use of learning opportunities. A practicum structure that helps students to examine and analyze their settings in ways that build on their prior classroom learning is of critical importance. In addition, some of the most meaningful learning occurs as a result of having to deal with unexpected events and frustrations during the practicum...
